Home About Us Event Calendar Mentoring Links/Contact
An important component of the CSUS NSF/ITEST program is mentoring. We built our mentoring program around the mutal mentoring model, and all of our college student mentors receive training in mentoring theory and practice. The mentoring program is led by Dr. Kimberly Gordon Biddle.

Mentors visit the high school classrooms at regular intervals during the Fall and Spring semester, during the summer session at the Sac State campus, and during the annual Bonding event.

Mentoring has been shown to provide many benefits to students - both for the mentors and the mentees. Our aim is for the mentoring to enhance student motivation, confidence, college preparedness, and to provide a way for students to get their questions answered about college life and college success.
